Unfortunately, the renderer is only one step in supporting an alternative platform. Even if we could have used Vulkan on every platform, the windowing APIs are completely different and those do most of the things we like our code editors to support, like typing.
I don't have to engage with every single person on HN to any extent just because I post on HN. I can also decide to engage with a post without having to commit to engaging with everything else that posters wants to add. I think it provides useful context if I clarify in advance WHY a follow-up might not receive a reply from me. In fact, most discussions on HN aren't back-and-forths between two people and arguably benefit from that.
Clearly it isn’t the case that Apple has always been more honest than their competition, because there were some years before Apple was founded.
What ads? I've had a pixel 7a for month, stock OS, and I'm not sure what you mean. I certainly don't get any ads via notification except for from 3rd party apps.

It's possible you have some Google app running and that's what's doing it? I would look into which apps the notifications are coming from, you should be able to completely eliminate the problem.
That was never said. They said 8gb mac is similar to a 16gb non-Mac
I also noticed when I tried to search for "secure password generation golang" nearly all examples use math/rand. And to make things worse all of them initialize seed with current time just before generating the password.

This was discovered after I found in our code someone used math rand and was curious where they copied it from :)
My idea of reading for fun as a kid, and even now, included(s) reading technical manuals, research papers, encyclopedia, or other materials where I am gaining knowledge.

I have always hated reading fiction and never saw the point in wasting time on it. I would prefer to waste that same time on watching a movie.
Leetcode has the side-effect of filtering on “can code yes/no” which is a completely fair filter… I just wish it wasn’t difficult DSA problems we used.

The same screen can be done with much simpler problems. This light coding interview should also be more or less pass/fail. Do it before everything else to short circuit those who have no idea how to write a for loop.

Save the interesting insights for real problem solving, code reviews, systems design… DSA under pressure is not something that actually happens on the job IME.

Still, I’m conflicted, because a solid DSA understanding is incredibly helpful at times. At the very least, a solid understanding of the commonly used data structures, how to transform data structures, a good understanding of memory allocation with respect to code and runtime, reference vs copy… All things that if not understood, can cause serious problems.
Cold brew isn’t about pH, it’s about bitters. The oils aren’t (just) acidic, they’re bitter, and that’s what you don’t get when you make real cold brew instead of failing it.

Acetic acid is sour. Alkaloids are bitter.
They get much cheaper when you look things that are modular, and not all tied up in a pretty package.. These batteries have been very popular this year [0]. But then you have to buy a charger/inverter, that maybe works with your solar, and is then certified to work with your power company, etc.

And cables, and a rack to hold them, and a tool to crimp those big huge cables, etc.

For professional installers, they can install these pretty easily, or install the more 'integrated' systems with a much, much larger margin for faster..

Clip Studio is one Mac app port I’ve seen that was literally the desktop version moved to the iPad. It uniquely has the top menu bar and everything. They might have made an exception because you’re intended to use the pencil and not your fingers.

It even supports the XDG stuff as well as variables like GNUPGHOME.
> So rather than search out each book they have and keep track of its status, then recheck a few weeks later, just remove the lot.

That doesn't pass the smell test. The only way I can see that being even remotely true is if the teacher's goal is mainly to push up against someone's line, politically.

Even in the most hostile environment, I doubt you'd run afoul of anyone with a well-stocked library of widely beloved classic children's books.
> LIke when they said an Macbook Air would last 10+ hours and third-party reviewers would get 8-9+ hours.

For literal YEARS, Apple battery life claims were a running joke on how inaccurate and overinflated they were.
I've driven over a few of these in Switzerland the last couple (few?) years, none this length but they are used on the autoroute around the Lake Geneva area sometimes. The speed is dropped to 60km/h and enforced by way of speed cameras - I have seen plenty of cars being flashed in the approach to the ramps.
It is correct though, and the mention of deadname in the obituary makes it clear there was also a name change.
Yes, it can be more cost effective for smaller businesses to do all their work on Mac Studios, versus having a dedicated Nvidia rig plus Apple or Linux hardware for your workstation.

Honestly, you can train basic models just fine on M-Series Max MacBook Pros.
I think the separation happens organically, and is driven by efficiency.

The environment needed for maximizing work is often at odds with the environment for maximizing leisure.

Would a space in the center of an office tower really have enough air ventilation for ordinary hobby-maker work like sanding, soldering, painting, resin molding, grinding, etc?
Well, this is a counter example http://www.newgeography.com/content/006840-high-density-and-... and another one https://www.helsinkitimes.fi/finland/finland-news/domestic/2... beware the model I'm talking about is NOT the USA Suburbs model where there are ONLY residential settlements and ONLY commercial one well far away, I'm talking about the EU "Rivieras" model, where commerce and homes are mixed. Like a kind of large, spread, set of small villages.
Yeah, it’s not worth it
> This is completely coherent with their privacy-first strategy (which would be at odds with sending data up to the cloud for processing).

I feel like people are being a bit naïve here. Apple's "Privacy First" strategy was a marketing spin developed in response to being dead-last in web-development/cloud computing/smart features.

Apple has had no problem changing their standards by 180 degrees and being blatantly anti-consumer whenever they have a competitive advantage to do so.
Thank you for the article. I have to put it on my "to read" pile! :)

How & Why I use IBM's Quantum Computer to Make Decisions

I mean… yes? I don't see what's so confusing. In an office building, if anything goes wrong, an alarm goes off and everyone leaves, and insurance pays for damages. In a residential building, you have people sleeping, sick, possessions they might not be willing to leave behind, babies, pets… It makes sense for the safety requirements to be different.
Thats surprising you haven’t heard the fans. Must be the use case. There’s a few games that will get it quite hot and spool up the fans. I have also noticed its got somewhat poor sleep management and remains hot while asleep. Sometimes I pick up the computer for the first time that day and its already very hot from whatever kept it out of sleep with a shut lid all night.
If you don’t need TikTok to find good books, how would you recommend finding good books? Even if you’re at a library that doesn’t narrow things down all that much, I’ve been to libraries with several floors filled with bookshelves.
No, they compared it because it made them look way better for naive people. They have no qualms comparing to other competition when it suits them.

You're explanation is a really baffling case of corporate white knighting.

Oh, I see. We actually discussed Pound about four years ago - just a little back and forth about the ABC of Reading: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24196681

>What's your explanation of why Pound went Fascist?

I'm not sure I particularly have one; I haven't read any of his longer political or cultural (i.e. non-literary) works. I just think it's silly to correlate an approach to translation that you dislike with fascism. Especially as I'm not sure it even makes sense on its own terms: I can only read your comment as 'lazy translator? Figures that he would be a fascist', but if I imagine the type of translation a fascist would approve of, the approach I picture is fastidious, fussy, concerned with fidelity to the point of stickler-ishness. (Isn't that from where we get 'grammar nazi'?)

And oh, well, since you ask I'll take a shy at it: my vague sense is that he became fascist because saw a society in decline due to it becoming more and more a sham society: opulence without virtue, power without vigour, money no longer tied to actually existing goods. (Of course, all of this shades easily into antisemitism.) He saw fascism as the answer; It's easier to see in retrospect that it wasn't.
I think your analogy of pools is spot on.

The goal is to view people as different "grades" like a commodity. They aren't measuring directly for skill, instead they're measuring for the odds you match a some "grade" of software developer.

To your point, if memorizing the first 1k digits of pi correlated with a higher "grade", then companies would use that instead.
Great point. I have an 10.x/11" iPad Air (the one that just got replaced) and I use it on the music stand frequently.

I disagree it is unworkable, but I would agree it's not workable in a performance. For me it is OK for practice. I use SoundSlice a lot, which is pretty good. PDF sheet music is a lot more annoying on the smaller screen.

I have wanted to trade for the 12.9" iPad but the "Pro" part is what keeps me from doing it. I may very well trade mine in on the new 12.9" iPad Air. The "Pro" Tax has just seemed way too high and pointless for me.

I have a MBP as well. People who don't play music regularly just don't understand how much better a tablet is for this use case.

Also for having a Zoom/Facetime/whatever with the iPad on the music stand while you work on music together.
Yeah, I'm broadly aware and have seen a few of the papers, though I definitely don't try and track the state of the art here closely.

My impression and experience trying low bit quants (which could easily be outdated by now) is that you are/were better off with a smaller model and a less aggressive quantization (provided you have access to said smaller model with otherwise equally good training). If that's changed I'd be interested to hear about it, but definitely don't want to make work for you digging up papers.
>Also, nice to see good old "dude with shovel" in there, a tool that would have looked the same back in the 19th century.

I grew up occasionally using tools of the shovel-variety which sometimes were from the 19th century, and when not, not far off.

Every time I drive through particularly ornery construction I start to fantasize about writing software to optimize the critical path and driver disruption.

I also am left wondering having seen several iterations of "improvement" projects that were followed a number of years later on the same stretch of road with another project... if anybody analyzes the whole effect of the project and if the designed improvement made up for the considerable interruption executing it caused. Like on a "net-positive" basis, would folks have been better off if nothing at all was done and the project just skipped.
GP said "LPDDR5" and that Apple won't sell at component prices.

You mention DIMMs and component prices instead. This is unhelpful.

See https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/memory/memory/774... for LPDDR5 prices. You can get a price of $48/chip at a volume of 2000 chips. Assuming that Apple got a deal of $30-40-ish at a few orders of magnitude larger order is quite fair. Though it certainly would be nicer if Apple priced 8GB increments not much above $80-120.
Just like I don't want an umbilical cord hanging out of me just to perform the full extent of my bodily functions, I also wouldn't want a dongle hanging off my tablet for it to be deemed usable.
It isn't privacy if Apple knows.

They are the gatekeeper of your data for their benefit not yours.
Compared with VSCode, absolutely. VSCode has a range of responsiveness from "good enough" to "oh right, this is Electron". Zed is both faster and more consistent. Sure, we're talking 10s of milliseconds, but it's surprisingly noticeable. Can't speak for other editors.

I'm becoming a true convert, though I occasionally must drop down to a termianl for advanced vim features. That's high praise coming from me, as I have a high bar for adopting new tools.
I'm not understanding, can you elaborate on your thought here? What makes you think these people were considering buying a home in 1995? They clearly were talking about their 2% interest rate loan they got during the pandemic. Just because they're in their mid-50s doesn't mean they were trying to buy a home in the 90s.

Also, in the 90s in Brooklyn you could get a condo for quite a lot cheaper -- the building I live in in Williamsburg was built a couple years before 1995 and the condos sold for $40k then (about $80k with inflation). Today they go for about $1.2 million. A 7.93% loan on $40k is quite a lot more affordable than on $1.2 million.
Yeah true here in Spain it's very mixed too. It's better like that I think because this way the neighborhood doesn't become deserted at night and also we can go to a local restaurant for lunch.

The 'zoning' here is more building by building rather than neighborhood based.

But I mean the same kind of administrative issue holds back conversions here. Most Office buildings here would be ideal. They're not that big because here it's illegal to offer office space without plenty of daylight.
Knuth
But these are not general text, they are identifiers. If you are building space-efficient RPC system then I do think it is reasonable to question why are these identifiers passed as strings in such quantity that it makes a difference.

On top of my head, a better approach could be to have some mechanism to establish mapping from these human-readable identifiers to numeric identifiers (protocol handshake or some other schema exchange), and then use those numeric identifiers in the actual high-volume messages.

edit: umm... seems like fury is doing something like that already https://fury.apache.org/docs/guide/java_object_graph_guide#m... so I am bit puzzled if this saving really makes meaningful difference?!
A big issue with the thin bezels I am now noticing is you lose what used to be a buffer for fingerprints from opening the lid.

This made me laugh, given my horrendous bike journey today on roads filled with holes in London.

I'm pretty sure most of the damage are from construction company lorries. I wonder why the gov doesn't just tax them for their usage/destruction of public roads, and fund repairs with that?

Academics Use Imaginary Data in Their Research
Yeah, but once you get to arbitrary code execution, everything is on the table. It's about as interesting as just creating it from scratch. The "something" stands on its own merits, separate from how it was created.
I’d like to use regional rail but when flying is cheaper and faster (even with security checks), it’s a relatively easy decision to not even consider it. Hopefully these improvements help reduce the price of fares.
Could be. Or could be "we want to justify our increased budget demands, and what better for that than to prop up some competition?"

Probably both...
They will maliciously comply. They might even have 4 sockets for the 512-bit wide systems. But then they’ll keep the SSD devices soldered - just like they’ve done for a long time. Or cover them with epoxy, or rig it with explosives. That’ll show you for trying to upgrade! How dare you ruin the beautiful fat profit margin that our MBAs worked so hard to design in?!?
I refuse to do code tests. I don't mind doing a small 2-3 hour project that I will walk the interviewer through to explain my reasoning for doing things the way that I did, but I cannot code in front of someone. I can't even type correctly on my keyboard if someone is looking over my shoulder.

I've never touched leetcode and I interviewed with Nvidia a few years ago for a position I was an absolute shoe in for, unfortunately they wanted me to do a live leetcode.
I'd like to propose an update to Godwin's law; call it NPC's Law or maybe just Trump's Law if we're being literal:

"Some Academics" is a more realistic statement.

I’ve heard newer English literature evangelized quite a lot since older English literature gets more and more Eurocentric the further back you go. Usually on political grounds, but also with the claim that newer literature is better and more relevant to especially diverse children’s lives.
lol, I wasn't framing it in terms of users, it was just that you could corrupt fast user switching, which exists, to be fast project switching (which needs to exist).
Impossible to pull off on a modern office building designed with pre-tensioned concrete floors. Cheaper to demolish the building and start again.
It's interesting that all problems in America are due to "funding". It's actually quite curious because funding was a problem for electric vehicles, funding was a problem for space, funding was a problem for literally everything. But then sometimes people come up and succeed at things that others have described as a funding problem for ages.

I think I can conclude reasonably from this is that the lowest efficiency lever one can pull is funding. Schools with the highest funding have the worst performance. That's because the people there only know one answer to every problem: "funding".
"Favorite" just means one you use a lot.

It's like when people ask you what your favorite movie or album is. They're not asking you to literally move to a desert island with only that, it just means one you like that comes to mind easily enough.
My favorite route to camp coffee is running this GSI filter backwards:

https://gsioutdoors.com/products/h2jo-filter

Put a week's worth of grounds in the bottle, screw on the filter, pour in some cold water, steep for 24h, and transfer to another bottle. If somebody wants "drip" strength they can cut it with water, hot or cold.
When I was in high school, I was a voracious reader of Star Trek novels. I'm now 47 years old, and as a birthday treat, I decided to go into Barnes and Nobel to find one to read (I haven't read anything other than technology books in many years, and rarely even then, since most good information is online)

I found like 2 or 3 (back in the day, there were at least a dozen or two to pick from at any time). The sci-fi section was a bit smaller, to replace the huge manga and other graphic novels section, which was absolutely huge. Many of the sci-fi titles that were there were taken up by novels that have been made into movies.
And then Apple will release M5 next year, presumably with another increase in TOPS that may well top their competitors. This is how product releases work.
For the AAA video game example, I mean, it is interesting how far that kind of tech has come… but really that’s just video streaming (maybe slightly more difficult because latency matters?) from the point of view of the laptop, right? The quality of the graphics there have more-or-less nothing to do with the battery.
You see the same effect in the cottage industry built around "cracking the code" and getting hired in these sort of companies. They produce marketing/video content that endlessly repeats "grind leetcode and 3 other simple tips" for getting hired, and then they insist that this is the exact and only reason they got hired (rather than plain luck or some reference), so everyone outside looking in emulates and internalizes this idea as the exact and only way hiring could possibly be effective and "fair". Eventually those practices just become the norm and people are blind to alternatives.

What was once considered a test of "intelligence" and skill in coding (whether a true assumption or not) has just become a test of "how much is a person willing to struggle to earn entry into our hallowed halls". Actual potential ability in the role is secondary to getting the role.
I do. I've given my son who's an avid swimmer a non-fiction book about a group training to try and make the Olympics. I've given my nephew interested in space 'The Right Stuff'. Both devoured the books and went off on their own reading journeys from there.
